Intake Removal - 09/09/2021

Tonight was all about breaking down the intake to make my way to the engine valley. The end goal being a valley pan reseal which is another common issue (leaks) on the M62TU engine.

  • Started on the interior removal but quickly found out that I need power to move the seats around for removal. The car battery is deep cycled to death, so I’ll experiment with a small aux battery in the future.
  • Removed brackets for plastic engine cover
  • Removed plastic valve cover covers
  • Disconnected spark plug grounds
  • Disconnected spark plug coils
  • Unclipped each injector connection then removed harness, unplugging sensors as I went
  • Unbolted fuel rail then removed with injectors. Found missing injector clips + missing o-rings
  • Unbolted Intake manifold, then pulled hard to separate
  • Disconnected CCV piping
  • Vacuumed out intake ports (still dirty) then stuffed with shop towels
